Xhuraton - Kdltor THE EXAMINATIONS II appears !> in tlmt there in just caute for complaint in the way tlmt the Depart'nental r.nd Entrnce exmiiinations were handled th's year. In the tirst place a misukc . made when two questi '!)* were placed on the cxiiminu- tion paper 'hat refered to ma'luiH with which the candidates weie not familiar. Of course the Department tried to make amends by nllowini; full marks for the remaining jnestions, but the result nn doubt wuuld be to confuse *nd dishearten ilu.se writing, and tend to weaken their effort, with the other ijuestions. The utinouncement of results in the Entrance examination was delayed in KJMI Grey. They were publish- ed for South Grey week before our own. The pipers in the north of this riding had them in time for last week's issue, but those at this end of the riding only received them Thursday afternoon last after their ppers had been issued . The newspapers were besieged for several uays by anxious pupils, and the tele- phones weie kept more than busy an- swering queries. In our own case, as 8oon as the results came, we made it a point to inform everybody interested with whom we could get in contract. We would like to know why some of the papers were given these returns in t;me to print them, while they were wilheld from others) Such tiling has never occurred before and we trasl never will agiiin. There is a probability that these en- trance results will be more catisfactory next year, owing to tlie fact that the matter is taken nut of the hand* of in- cpectors altogether and left wilh the high i I.. i examining boardf. We would suggest tlmt dale ba set by the Department for the release of these results to the general public KJ that all will be treated alike and everybody will know when to look for the news. As it -. anxiety is strung out over about three weeks time. The unfairness of the present system is particularly noticeable right here. Markdale, six miles uway, which is in South Grey, had iheir relurna H week before Flesherton, which is in Kast Grey. We do not attempt to place the blame for the pit niisni'in*Ke.nent, probably it lies not altogether with any one indiv- idual, but a suggestion such as we have made w mid obviate nil fulurre trouble and relieve the newspaper offices of a lo id The date could be set so as to give the exatnineis ample time. Candidates would not object to waiting even a week longer if they knew the exact day to ex- pect the results to be given and that they would be given to everybody on that As it has been in the past some school* know the lesult even before the papers are sent to Toronto for verification. We have know severtil instances of this kind. I I. is against the regulations and is nut right, and we hopo the now rexuhtioni will prevent such leakage in future.

Tried to Suicide A DOG-DAY DISCUSSION An interesting controversy is raging in a London newspaper over the problem as to whether woman is not nearer to savagery than man. The question has nut been fully settled and may never be, because it cm not be. There are those who hold (<> the idea that woman can sink In lower depths, and ii-- to more sublime heights than man. It is said, ax in the old nursery ditty, that "when she is good die is very, very qool.and when ho ishad , lie it horrid. "Wo ilni. ol believe such it controversy U worth the ink spilled over It. Woman c.innot rise to my higher plane than man, tie thur can she fall liny lower. She m on the same plane, receives the sami- rjwards for virtue (oxcfpting when 1 man autH arbiter), and the same puni-di- ineiils (excepting wheru man iidtnister.H the punishment). She in "bone, of his b me and Hush of his flesh," ar.u lo say that woman approaches nearer to savas- ;iy than intii is an absurdity. We are, jtian and woman, delivered from th Minut nource at th same time, travelling to- gether towards the name KOI|, and we are all a jumbled up mass of god, bad ..ml indifferent, with the bad predomina- ting in the malo branch of the human family, because h is a tyrant nnd will not allow the female the liberty with which ho himself indulges. The question under discussion is, however, good enough for a doit-day controversy whon everybody feels can- tankerous and belicose.

On arrival at Cooksville they left fur Orange- ville by car, where they caused consider- able excitement later in the day. Upon arrival there they become short of gasoline, so entered the Klectric Light Company's office and btole a 28-gallon can of machine oil, thinking it containrd fuel fur the motor. Seeing two grips belong- ing to the manager, Mr. T.U. Huxtab'e, containing valuable papers, they immed- iately app-opriatcd them and dashed off in the car. but were discovered by Chii-f Constable Wm.
